Capo 3rd fret


[Verse 1]
    F                 C                     F               C7
She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee, her dress has got a tear
    F              C               F               C7
She waltzes on her way to mass and whistles on the stair
    Dm                             Bbm7
And underneath her wimple, she has curlers in her hair
  Gm7                           C7
I even heard her singing in the abbey


[Verse 2]
      F               C               F            C7
She's always late for chapel, but her penitence is real
      F               C             F              C7
She's always late for everything, except for every meal
  Dm                            Bbm7
I hate to have to say it, but I very firmly feel
  Gm7                       C7
Maria's not an asset to the abbey


[Pre-Chorus]
    Dm                          C7
I'd like to say a word in her behalf
  Dm  Gm7      C7
Maria makes me laugh


[Chorus]
F                               C7
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
F                                   C7
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
F                                   Bb
How do you find the word that means Maria?
  G                 Bbm7                C7
A flibbertijibbet, a will-o'-the wisp, a clown


F                                   C7
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
F                              Gm
Many a thing she ought to understand
    Fm                           C7
But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say?
Fm                              C7
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?


    F                               Gm
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
Gmaj7             C7               F
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?


[Verse 3] (a capella)

When I'm with her I'm confused, out of focus and bemused

And I never know exactly where I am

Unpredictable as weather, she's as flighty as a feather

She's a darling, she's a demon, she's a lamb


[Verse 4]
          F          C7            F               C7
She'd out pester any pest, drive a hornet from its nest
          F                C7             F
She could throw a whirling dervish out of whirl
       Gm             Gm            Gm              Gm
She is gentle, she is wild, she's a riddle, she's a child
        A7                 A7             C7
She's a headache, she's an angel, she's a girl


[Chorus]
F                               C7
How do you solve a problem like Maria?
F                                   C7
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
F                                   Bb
How do you find the word that means Maria?
  G                 Bbm7                C7
A flibbertijibbet, a will-o'-the wisp, a clown


F                                   C7
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
F                              Gm
Many a thing she ought to understand
    Fm                           C7
But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say?
Fm                              C7
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?


    F                               Gm
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
                                   F
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
